• Obama Creates More Wealth for Green Crony Soros Sun Mar 31
  Marita Noon
  It is reported that back before Obama became a Senator, or announced his presidential bid, and before the founding of the Soros-funded Center for American Progress (CAP) a group of liberals met in 2002 at Soros’ Long Island Southampton beach house to draft a plan to defeat President Bush in the presidential election of 2004. Without that meeting, Lt. Col. Robert “Buzz” Patterson, says: “Barack Obama would be … an unremarkable and unheard of state senator. Instead, Barack Obama is the President of the United States.” ... more
• The Best of Comrades Sun Mar 24

• Obama Halts Global Warming by Executive Order Mon Mar 18
  John Ransom
  Data actually suggests that the earth stopped warming 15 years ago. This pause in warming wasn’t anticipated in any climate change models created by global warming advocates. It must have been an executive order. ... more
• Liberals are Stepford Wives of Political Class Sun Mar 17
  John Ransom
  I don’t think John McCain would appreciate you calling him a woman. I know I don’t appreciate it. I think it’s much better to call him either: 1) a Hobbit; or 2) a Wacko Bird. ... more

• New Wealth is Cure to Government, Economy Sun Mar 10
  Marita Noon
  Washington only talks about two choices when the cost of running the government exceeds the revenues: raising taxes and cutting spending. Taxes were raised as a part of the fiscal cliff deal. Sequester fills out the other half of the equation by cutting spending. ... more
• 7 Commodity Stocks Yielding up to 10% Thu Mar 7

• This Company is Harnessing the Cheapest Energy on Earth Sat Feb 23
  Nathan Slaughter
  If you've ever visited Old Faithful at Yellowstone National Park or taken a hot springs bath, then you understand the basic principle. In the simplest terms, geothermal heat is produced deep in the earth's crust and then carried toward the surface by rising magma, the shifting of tectonic plates and other geologic forces. ... more
• Robert Redford’s Head is Full of Oil Tue Feb 19
  John Ransom
  I find it hard to believe that 35,000-40,000 global warming activists, who by all rights should not have winter gear- they shouldn’t have it, nor should they be allowed to have it- showed up over the weekend in frigid DC to protest…um…something. ... more
• Obama’s Energy Plans: Tragedy Disguised as Triumph Mon Feb 18
  Marita Noon

• Some People Just Deserve "Free" Healthcare Sun Feb 17

• Report: Frickin’ Fracking Could Ruin Everything for Leftist Activists Fri Feb 15
  John Ransom
  A new report from the UK research team at Price Waterhouse and Cooper confirms what we knew all along: We’re right and they’re wrong. Really wrong; once-in-a-lifetime, disastrously wrong if grading on the scale the rest of us are subject to. Grading on the liberal scale, however, it’s just normal, everyday, run of the mill errors in judgment, math, worldview, physics and fluid mechanics that liberals deal with all the time. ... more
• Federal Infrastructure for Private Profit Wed Feb 13
  Chris Edwards
  With regard to the Army Corps of Engineers, pork barrel politics, boondoggles, and environmental harm have been the modus operandi for more than a century. ... more

• Chevy Volt Follows Stupid 2012 with Stupider 2013 Mon Feb 11
  John Ransom
  I know, I know: You find it hard to believe that a mostly-owned subsidiary of the United States government and the Obama administration- like GM is- could get any stupider than say Fannie Mae, or Federal Reserve Bank. Yes, that’s tough competition, but in the “idiocy” category GM seems to be the ruling champion. ... more
• Really? The Chicken as Endangered Species Sun Feb 10

• To Democrats: How is it Healthier to be Unemployed? Sun Sep 2
  Marita Noon
  When you hear claims that additional Clean Air Act regulations will improve public health, think about the broader consequences. An America without abundant, available, and affordable energy is not an America that benefits the middle class or the poor. It hurts. It is unhealthy. ... more
